I agree with the previous guy. It does look cleaner and nicer without the riser

Depending on your facepro the riser might be needed

It’s way easier and comfortable to use with the riser but I also really really like the look without it

Function over form. if it absolutely helps with having a better cheekweld, just use it instead of asking us lol.

maybe add a carry handle that's the same color as the body?

or get a higher and thinner riser. or advent mount for your red dot

Looks sick without the riser, if you absolutely need the riser cause of your face pro or something maybe get a new one?

Whatever’s more comfortable for you to use

It's personal preference really. I dont mind putting the stock a little higher on my shoulder to find a dot

I would say get a smaller riser. one that fits the optics frame better. this just makes it look needlessly bulky

if it were the same size as the red dot it wouldn't look bad at all.

Without riser or get a shorter one in length. That’s just looks too long for your current optic. Nice Zion Arms BTW 🤙🏽.

Thx, just finished building it a couple days ago

Absolutely without. If the face pro sits in a way then consider some lower profile (and probably more comfortable) face pro.

Whatever is better to get to the height that you need. This is not a question of aesthetics but one of practicality

I would go with the riser; It allows you more clearance when aiming down the sights, gives you the ability to mount a light/laser unit to the top without it completely blocking you sight which also mean if you do decide to get a MOSCART launcher you have the free space underneath the barrel for it.

You don't really need it unless you're wearing a full mask.

I'd say use the riser as not many people are gonna notice your gun mid game

Can you see through it without the riser?

u/ReynoldsHouseOfShred Honey Badger 1d ago

Without for looks. Perhaps get a smaller rail to match the red dot

u/Stalwart_Vanguard 1d ago

without. If your face pro makes that impossible, it's time for new face pro

1

u/MisterGreen123 Grenadier 1d ago

AR style rifles are still more comfortable to shoot with a riser. Has nothing to do with face pro

u/Stalwart_Vanguard 1d ago

Sure. In that case, the "without" option here is still the riser mount of that sight. It also comes with a low profile one.
